英文摘要 | Mesoscale structures in Earth's magnetotail are a primary feature of particle transport to the inner magnetosphere during storms and substorms. We demonstrate that such structures can be observed in energetic neutral atom (ENA) data which can provide remote, global images of the magnetosphere. In particular, we present localized regions of increased ion temperatures that appear in equatorial ion temperature maps calculated from TWINS ENA data. These regions are associated with a dipolarization front with bursty ion flows measured by MMS and are concurrent with substorm features observed in field aligned currents (FAC) from AMPERE measurements. We conduct an MHD simulation of the same event and show simulated ion temperatures, ion flows, and FACs that agree with the measurements. However, the observed plasma heating is less intense in the simulated results than in the TWINS and MMS data, indicating that some heating processes may be missing from the model. |
